If you've ever wondered what drives the enormous popularity of Wikipedia, you might be interested in this WikiCharts page that supposedly shows the 100 articles viewed most often in the online encyclopedia. The most-read topics as of this posting include such entries as "Pluto" and "the United States," but half of the top 10 are sex-related--an indication that interest in Wikipedia may not be all that different from the rest of the Web.
Interestingly enough, the page contains a disclaimer that reads, "This tool is still being tested. Some of the results may be false or misleading!" While we remain big fans of the collaborative site, some detractors might find the disclaimer an amusingly accurate reflection of all of Wikipedia.
